RETRO IOWA: Robbie Knievel breaks father's record at the Iowa State Fair

RETRO IOWA: Robbie Knievel breaks father's record at the Iowa State Fair
Things are looking up at the Iowa State Fair, especially if you're *** motorcycle stunt rider. Captain Robbie Knievel, what do you think? He's awesome. Cool. When he let go of his handlebars, he's pretty cool. The son of the famous Evel Knievel soared over 15 white Kenworth trucks parked on the grand concourse. Death defying leap breaks his father's record for the same stunt. I think so. The Captain Robbie Knievel is flying high and the people of the Iowa State Fair wonder if the attendance figures will too, will this be the year that more than *** million people come through the gates so far? This year, the estimated attendance through Saturday is close to 780,000 people. *** bit fewer than last year. You know, the magical million mark is going to come when it comes. We have had *** wonderful 140 th annual Iowa State Fair. Several 100,000 visitors have come. They come in *** good mood. They've spent some money, asked some vendors around at the fairgrounds and they're committed to having way too much fun. The fair won't have the official attendance numbers for *** few days and if it's not *** million this year, there's always the 141 Iowa state fair next year. Todd Magle News Channel Eight.
